Not in Spain. But if we use pájaro referred to a person it would mean that it is someone that "you cannot trust", "someone that would likely deceive you or rob you". In those cases, the typical frase would be: ¡Menudo pájaro, este (what ever name the person had)! (In this context pájaro could be exchanged by pajarraco).
It can also be used as a family or friendly way of highlighting that someone is "living adventures with females", for example... or simply, "having a good life during a limited period of time...a summer holidays, or similar. Same frase... ¡Menudo pájaro estás hecho! The more likely context, would be an elder person doing some remark about some younger family member. Last edited by Nivar; July 28, 2011 at 02:59 PM. |

Es distinta, en este sentido, la expresión, cada vez en más desuso, de "Vale un Potosí". En este segundo caso, no hay carga de relatividad. Se trata de algo de gran valor. Last edited by AngelicaDeAlquezar; July 30, 2011 at 08:27 AM. |

Se trata de expresiones coloquiales y/o vulgares, dependiendo de la región, lo que ya se ha explicado en las páginas anteriores.
